Sadly it took this TC's brain to realize what a Wii already knew.

It's true, because the human brain has more processing power than any computer humans have ever invented. It's sort of a thing.

The only real advantages computers have over the brain is that computers seem to process things faster, but even that isn't technically true, because brains process things incredibly fast. It's really only at the conscious level that our thinking seems "slow". At deeper levels, the brain is constantly handling tons of input and feedback almost instantaneously.

Nah, it's still the case. It's just that some people only use their organic supercomputers to run Windows 95 and Solitaire.

Computers are also more organized, while the brain is a jumble that scientist are still trying to figure out exactly which part does what

The best part is when you read about early, pre-ethics pscyhology studies where they basically mapped the brain by poking at different spots while someone was having brain surgery and they wrote down which parts seemed to affect which aspects of personality/speech/vision/etc.

Or how they had at least a few studies where they basically cracked open kitten skulls and deliberately destroyed parts of their brain with burning metal and then tried to figure out which of their motor functions no longer worked.

Old Timey Psychology was awesome.

All of that extra processing power means we're more easily distracted though. We also need to devote a lot of of our processing power to other stuff, like breathing. Humans also make approximations while computers make exact decisions.

These days computers will almost always be better for specialized tasks while humans are more general.
